tomatoes, red onions, pickles and barbecue sauce.

"All I want today is to build the world's
biggest burger and so we try rally to break the record," he
said as he unveiled the beast. " The size is more than 300
times the burger we eat every day."

The
previous Guinness world record for the Largest
Hamburger was a 185.8-pound hamburger.

His advice: if you want to keep your burgers
big and juicy, don't keep banging them on the head with your
flipper while you are cooking them. Biggest mistake made by
grillers everywhere, according to Ted.
